BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Methylene blue and 6-anilino,5,8-quinolinedione (LY83583) are used extensively to block activation of guanylate cyclase. Both agents generate oxygen radicals. Therefore, it appeared profitable to investigate whether the generation of oxygen radicals by these agents is responsible for the blockade of responses to nitrodilators that act via activation of guanylate cyclase t...

Abstract Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (APDT) has been studied as a noninvasive for treating cutaneous leishmaniasis to overcome challenges with current treatment, such toxicity, resistance, and need in‐patient hospital treatment. Organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) have emerged an attractive technology that can provide wearable materials are conformable human skin. This makes OLEDs idea...

Methylene blue-treated fresh-frozen plasma (MB-FFP) is mainly used in Europe. The advantage of the methylene blue system is that units can be treated individually. The combined action of methylene blue and illumination is a photodynamic process preventing viral RNA and DNA replication. We report the first immediate allergic hypersensitivity reaction to methylene blue-treated plasma transfusion....

Zone diameters for anidulafungin by disk diffusion for 139 isolates of C. parapsilosis were compared with MICs by NCCLS M27-A2 broth microdilution. The comparison was poor unless the disks were prepared by dissolving anidulafungin in 1% dimethyl sulfoxide plus 0.1% Tween 80 and testing on Mueller-Hinton agar flooded with glucose and methylene blue.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an irreversible and progressive neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by β-amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles loss of cholinergic neurons. Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibition one the most critical strategy for treatment AD since BChE causes inactivation neurotransmitter acetylcholine has positive effects on promoting formation fibrils. Our previous stud...

background dyes are one of the most important industrial pollutants, especially in textile industries. many methods have been proposed in order to remove color from wastewater among which, adsorption is more acceptable due to the ability for its use in the large scale. objectives the objective of this study was to investigate pumice as an inexpensive adsorbent for removal of methylene blue from...
